Little Acorns Preschool

Our sponsored walk has raised an amazing £810.60 so far!
Thank you to everyone that has contributed!

On Saturday we held our annual sponsored walk, which this year was also an easter egg hunt. At the end the children were given medals and chocolate eggs. The weather was beautiful and we had a great turnout. Thank you to all our families who joined us and to all those that gave a donation. We all had a lovely time!🌞🏅

We have had a lovely week we have had! It was great to see so many of our Mummys enjoying an afternoon tea. The children were so excited and had such a great time. We hope you also liked your little gifts 🫖🍰🌷

Our curriculum book over the last couple of weeks has been Handa's Surprise. We have been doing lots of different activities, including trying a selection of different fruits. The children were able to touch, smell and taste the different fruits as we discussed their textures, shapes and where they grow.
We have explored the role play fruit and vegetable shop, African small world and a variety of sensory activities such as playdough, frozen peas and potpourri.
Outside we have been making obstacle courses to practice our balancing skills. and building bamboo houses. We have been practising our fine motor and hand eye co-ordination skills by making beaded necklaces and bracelets.
We have also been printing with real fruits and vegetables. 🍐🍊🥕🍍🍉

This week the children have all enjoyed walking down to the community cafe. On their way we had a little scavenger hunt where we were searching for different things we could see, including a penguin! Everyone then enjoyed a drink and some crisps. The children all had a great time, and a huge thank you to all the parents who came along to help! ☕️

The children have all enjoyed exploring the snow and ice that we had at the start of the week! They’ve been making snow angels, painting the snow and ice, and making lots of patterns using footprints and various materials around the garden ❄️🌨️☃️

Today is our last day of term. We would like to wish all our families past and present a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We hope you enjoy the break and we are back on Monday 5th January🎄

Our final curriculum book for this term was 'Ten things I can do to help my world'.

Over the last two weeks the children enjoyed learning about various ways that they could help to look after the planet, such as recycling, turning off lights to save energy, saving water, composting and looking after the insects and birds.

We enjoyed taking trips to the recycling bins at the school, feeding the worms in the wormery and building bug houses for our gardens.

We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who turned out to come and see us this morning . We raised over £600 for the pre-school which we will use for new resources and activities for the children 🎄🎅

For the first week of the curriculum story ‘Whatever next’ the children helped to make a paper mache planet. We had space small world, making their own rockets role play, planet songs and space themed activities. We also looked more in depth at our solar system where the children learnt the names of each planet. By the end of the week we could point to any of the planets and the majority of the time the children knew which one it was. Using their fine motor skills they decorated their own planet 🌍🪐
